Lafayette water treatment plant improvements bond issue and appropriation

SF 848 appropriates $1,893,000 from state bonds to fund water treatment plant improvements in the city of Lafayette. The funds will finance a reverse osmosis system and associated upgrades at Lafayette's existing water treatment plant to address high chloride levels in wastewater and prevent future violations of drinking water standards. This directly affects Lafayette residents by improving their drinking water safety through concrete infrastructure upgrades. The bill authorizes the state to sell bonds to cover the cost, with the money delivered to the city via the Public Facilities Authority. (SF 848, Section 1)
